Operation of the Machine
Initial Daily Start-Up
1. Check if the inside of the machine has been properly cleaned since its last use. If not, clean the
machine (refer to
Final Clean-Up
on the following page for cleaning information).
2. Make sure scrap tray screens and the pump inlet screen are in place (see page 35).
WARNING: Do not operate washer without all screens in place.
3. Close the drain valve.
4. Open fill valve and fill wash tank to the top of the scrap trays or until water begins to run out of
the overflow. If the machine is equipped with the
Auto Fill
option push the
Auto Fill
button
to fill the unit.
5. Turn power "ON" and allow wash and rinse temperatures to come up to recommended levels.
6. While machine is warming up, the first load can be prepared and placed in the machine. If the
pans are excessively dirty, they should be pre-soaked and scraped before being placed in the
rack. Pan preparation will reduce the need to change the wash water and will speed-up the
entire washing process. The correct manner for loading the racks is illustrated on pages 31 -
33
7. Once the machine has reached the recommended temperatures, detergent should be added to the
wash water. Detergent should be used according to the recommendations of the chemical
supplier. A non-suds detergent is necessary and local water conditions should be considered
when selecting the concentration of the detergent. An automatic soap dispenser should be
installed at the job site by the chemical supplier. There should be a visible or audible means
of determining detergent delivery. If they have any questions concerning the installation of
their dispenser to the LVO rack washer, they can call the factory for advice (800-346-5749).
8. The rack of pans can now be placed in the machine. The rack should be centered in the
machine to subject the pans to the full force of the spray arms.
WARNING: Loose items and glassware should not be put in the washer. The high
pressure wash cycle will damage them and potentially the machine.
Bowls or buckets can be washed by placing them in the bowl/utensil rack with the tops
toward the lower side of the shelf to facilitate draining.
The utensil basket is to be used to contain smaller items such as paddles, whisks, scrapers, etc.
The utensil basket can be placed in the bowl/utensil rack and washed along with a load of
bowls or buckets.
CAUTION:
When loading the machine make sure that nothing will obstruct the path of the
wash arms. This will avoid damage to the machine and to the items being washed.
When loading bowls, pans, or buckets into the machine make sure they are loaded in a manner
that will allow the wash water to drain out of them.
